Zero from Nightmare before Christmas Drawing
Tim Burton fans now have some help in learning how to draw Zero from the Nightmare before Christmas movie. Zero is Jack Skellington’s ghost-dog. In the movie, Jack finds the door to Christmas Town while he is taking Zero for a walk. Later, when Jack wants to take off to deliver presents, Zero has to light the way (with his nose) because of the thick fog, similar to Santa and Rudolph.
In this case, drawing Zero is more about learning how to draw a sheet than a dog. His head has a kind of a regular shape, but the body is made from a series of wavy lines, to look like fabric, without any of the usual legs to speak of.
This tutorial was made for young artists that love the movie and the imaginative world that it creates. It offers an easy way to draw a character in the style of Tim Burton, the creator, with just some help from dark paper, marker and white colored pencils.

Materials to draw Zero from Nightmare before Christmas
- Paper. Card stock paper that has a light gray or brown shade for an old-fashioned black and white look.
- SOFT Pencils. Important: Ticonderoga #2 SOFT pencils will always give you the darkest gray. Collect them and then save for all your drawing projects. The #2 Mediums will not work as well, no matter how hard you press.
- White Pencil Crayon. Prismacolor cost a little more than the others, but they always leave the brightest color. That’s especially true for the white ones.
- Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tip erasers, especially when erasing leftover pencil lines after tracing.
